he recently spoke with gabrielle giffords about gun control. good morning. >> good morning. >> suppose you had the authority to do something about guns. what would do you? >> several things. the background screening process expands dramatically so anybody who wanted to buy a gun would have to go through that process. currently 40% of the gbz bought in the united states are bought without a background screening beforehand. secondly there's a lot more to be done relative to controlling the behavior of criminals who use guns in the commission of a crime. we're sporadic around the country in our enforcement of gun laws and those who break the law using a firearticle. loft the crime reduction we experienced in los angeles and new york was because we controlled behavior and we can control a lot more of the behavior those who use guns to commit acts of violence by making sure they're punished for their crimes. >> why are we lax on enforcement enforcement? >> charlie, that's a great question and there is no simple answer to it.
